RASHIS COVERED: Dt22-18a DISCIPLINE by LASHES;DEATH by WITNESSES
Dt21-18c Dt22-20a

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Dt22-18a and Dt21-18c refer to DISCIPLINING criminal acts.
Thus Dt22-18a discusses disciplining someone who slandered
his wife. Dt21-18c refers to DISCIPLINING a rebellious son
who steals from his parents. We learn the meaning of this
non-specific term DISCIPLINING from an OTHER VERSE Dt25-01:04
which prescribes LASHES as a disciplinary action.
Similarly from Prov23-20 we infer that this rebellious son
is involved with drunkards and meat gorgers. Similarly we
infer from Dt17-06 that death penalties require 2 witnesses
Throughout Rashi uses the technique of OTHER VERSES.

---------------------------------------
TODAYS RASHI RULE:     OTHER VERSES
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE:  FURTHER DETAILS
---------------------------------------

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RULE and SUBRULE

The rule of OTHER VERSES simply means that Rashi
is explaining one verse by citing an OTHER VERSE

One way of doing this is to cross reference a
verse that speaks about the SAME topic but gives
FURTHER details.


STANDARD EXAMPLE

The following example comes from the Passover
Hagaddah

Dt26-05 states that
--With only a FEW PEOPLE did the
--Jews go down to Egypt

FURTHER DETAILS on the meaning of
the Biblical phrase FEW PEOPLE is
provided in Gn46.

EXERCISE:

Before reading the Rashi try reading
Gn46 yourself and see if you can
discover the further details.

RASHIS SOLUTION

Rashi cites Gn46-27
--The total number of people who
--came with Jacob to Egypt is 70

Thus the Rashi method of OTHER VERSES
in this case has explained to us that
the FEW PEOPLE that went down to
Egypt refers to SEVENTY people

HOW TO USE THESE LISTS FOR SCHOOL PROJECTS

You can use the LIST below for school projects.
Here is how, if you are a teacher then you
can present the verse in the first column
(eg Dt26-05) and the CHAPTER (but not the verse)
in the 3rd column---e.g. Gn46.

The student is then instructed to discover
the further details. The students solution
can then be compared with Rashis.

TODAYS EXAMPLE

We give several examples of inferences from other verses.
